I have had two different pickups (flat beds) and I was using a dump trailer. I went the small chipper route with...

    Good to climb on and just normal wear and tear? Or should I cut this section off?

    It seems like every single wear and tear variety shown, they suggest to cut out and re-splice or retire. So if I went by their guidelines it is no good.

    Good to climb on and just normal wear and tear? Or should I cut this section off?

    This was my first thought since the strands are not cut thorough just some fuzz. Maybe I am just being paranoid.

    Cheap Chip Truck International 4700

    That looks awesome. Good work. I just bought a box for my F550 from Riviezzo on here. I am in the process of replacing the dump hoist and wiring the lights. It is a nice Arbortech box, but this thing looks boss for 5k! Nice job!

    Alpine Magnum

    I believe it was around 5500 with the aluminum leg option you can check on their site. It doesn't have very many hours on it. I was looking to get 4000 OBO.
